New Keys, New Targets — Pulse Chapter 1 (Free)

Image
Fresh paint. Floor-to-ceiling windows. A vision board filled with rings and targets. In Chapter 1 , Olivia steps into her Colorado Springs apartment—and unknowingly into a life where every minute is planned and nothing goes as planned. Training. Online classes. A dream she’s chased for years. But something else is moving beneath the surface—quiet, patient, inevitable. This chapter feels safe. It isn’t. 👇 Read Chapter 1 ONE Colorado Springs, Colorado             Olivia "Liv" Streeter stood at the threshold of her new apartment, key in hand, and took a moment to appreciate the life she had built. The space before her was an elegant fusion of functionality and modernity, decked out with sleek lines and neutral hues. She had traveled far from her small-town roots in Traverse City, Michigan—metaphorically and literally—and her surroundings marked the distance she'd covered. As she stepped over the entrance, the door closed behind her wi...

The Silence That Screams

Image
 We’re taught that silence is calming. That it’s the absence of danger. That quiet is safety. But in espionage, silence isn’t empty—it’s full. Full of the unseen, the unspoken, the waiting. In Pulse , Olivia Streeter discovers that silence is its own weapon. On the snowy trails of Europe, where every step echoes, silence becomes deafening. It screams louder than bullets. It tells her she’s not alone. It tells her someone is hunting her. For an athlete, silence was concentration. For a spy, silence is a countdown. Every heartbeat Olivia hears in the void is another second closer to exposure. Another second closer to death. And the most chilling part? Silence doesn’t break with a bang. It breaks with a whisper. 🔕 Discover how silence becomes the deadliest sound in Pulse .

What if the world behind the Games was playing a far more dangerous game? In Pulse , Olivia Streeter discovers that her journey is about more than skiing and shooting. Behind the veneer of sport lies a network of spies, secrets, and shifting allegiances. The world stage isn’t just for athletes—it’s a chessboard for espionage. And Liv is about to be forced into the game. 🏅 See what lies beyond the finish line in Pulse .

Her willpower—honed through years of training—might be the only thing standing between her and death. What began as sport has become a survival instinct. 🏹 Experience the adrenaline of Liv’s journey in Pulse .

Secrets Beneath the Stones – What the Ancients Left Behind

Image
 Every stone tells a story. Carvings on temple walls, hidden chambers inside pyramids, forgotten inscriptions buried by time. To most, they’re relics. To Dr. Calvin Prentice, they’re evidence—breadcrumbs leading to a truth too vast to ignore. In Artifact , the team uncovers whispers of an ancient civilization powerful enough to shape human history. But with each discovery comes resistance. Who benefits from keeping history incomplete? Who fears what truth might surface? When secrets are carved in stone, they last longer than kingdoms, governments, or empires. But they also attract those desperate to silence them. 📚 Read the thriller where history refuses to stay buried: Artifact by Cole Steele

Into the Amazon – The Jungle as a Character

Image
  The jungle doesn’t care about your degrees, your theories, or your ambitions. In the Amazon, you either adapt—or you vanish. In Artifact , the team’s pursuit of history leads them deep into one of the deadliest environments on Earth. The Amazon jungle is more than scenery—it’s a force of nature. Venomous snakes, relentless storms, unseen predators, and the sheer weight of isolation test the team at every turn. For Prentice and his companions, the jungle becomes both enemy and teacher. Every snapped twig, every shift in the wind, every shadow conceals danger—or discovery. The Amazon strips away comfort, exposing what people are made of. And in Artifact , it reveals who is strong enough to survive… and who isn’t. 📚 Step into the jungle with them: Artifact by Cole Steele

From Hieroglyphs to Hidden Cities – The Codes in Artifact

Image
 History speaks to us in symbols. Carved into stone, painted on walls, etched into memory—hieroglyphs aren’t just art; they’re codes. In Artifact , one strange symbol changes everything. Dr. Prentice knows symbols connect civilizations across continents. But this one? It’s out of place, out of time, and filled with danger. Each stroke carries meaning, and as the team deciphers its message, they realize they’re not the first to search for answers—and they may not survive long enough to share what they’ve found. Symbols are powerful. They unite cultures, whisper forgotten stories, and in Artifact , ignite a deadly chase that spans continents. 📚 Crack the code yourself: Artifact by Cole Steele

Mace Santino – From the Streets of Boston to the Amazon Jungle

Image
  Every team needs someone who can handle the chaos, and for Calvin Prentice, that someone is Mace Santino. Born in the rough neighborhoods of Boston, Mace learned survival before he learned science. Yet beneath the tough exterior is a brilliant mind, one sharp enough to earn his place on Prentice’s team. In Artifact , Mace becomes the bridge between academia and survival. When the expedition leaves the lecture halls behind and plunges into the Amazon jungle, Mace’s instincts become the team’s lifeline. He knows how to fight, how to adapt, and—most importantly—how to keep moving when others freeze. But Mace carries shadows of his own past, and in the dense jungle, old scars find new ways to reopen. Will his grit save the team—or will his demons become their undoing? 📚 Uncover Mace’s journey in Artifact: Artifact by Cole Steele

Pyramids Beyond Egypt – The Global Mystery

Image
 When most people hear the word pyramid , they think of the towering structures on the Giza Plateau. But the truth is far more intriguing: pyramids exist all over the world. From Peru’s adobe marvels to China’s hidden earth mounds and the Nubian pyramids of Sudan, these structures raise a haunting question—were ancient civilizations connected in ways we’ve never imagined? In Artifact , Dr. Calvin Prentice believes the answer is yes. His research draws on real-world evidence: cultures separated by oceans, yet building nearly identical structures. Coincidence—or a shared legacy? This global mystery forms the beating heart of Artifact . It’s more than a novel—it’s a “what if” story about humanity’s forgotten past. And once you see pyramids across continents, you’ll never look at history the same way again. 📚 Follow the fictional journey here: Artifact by Cole Steele

Countdown to Oblivion – A Free Encounter Bonus Chapter

Image
 The luxurious log cabin home that was nestled on an inland lake complete with its own boat house belonged to Marcel Cepeda. It was rumored to have been designed by the same architect that was responsible for an enormous luxury log cabin home which had previously belonged to a notable country singer down in Tennessee. The same construction crew had been contracted and it annoyed several of his wealthy neighbors while it was being built. Their equipment and the massive logs made driving the roads impassable at times. Cepeda was the CEO of a new social media and tech firm. His company’s IPO made him an overnight billionaire and instant celebrity. Money was no object after the news. A far cry from the startup struggles in his parent’s basement almost a decade earlier.
